I've started using mine on a gimbal head mounted on a monopod and the keeper rate has vastly improved, particularly with wildlife, tried the gimbal on the monopod today at the mach loop and resorted to a Sigma 100 - 300 handheld instead.

Depends on what you want to shoot, if its full length portraits you'll struggle, Still life, Objects, Head and Shoulders, will be fine, some of the 3m witch will be taken up by the light stands unless you wall or ceiling mount them, but then you'll lose the flexibility of being able to move them around

One small thing. The battery grip does get in the way of the release lever. When I use my monopod attatched to my Sigma 70-200 lens mount... Have to uncouple the lens or the battery grip to remove it..
Do you not use a QR head of any sort ? not had this problem with a K1 and the same lens, I do use a manfrotto QR head and plate on the monopod thou

You've pretty much go it spot on, when I moved from a K5iis to a K1, and from previous models, a good number of my lenses were FF compatible so I only had to change the Sigma 17 - 70 and the Pentax 10 - 17.
